Coincidentally, I'm also a Hokie and really loved walking around downtown Blacksburg, Roanoke and Richmond (fuck C-ville, LOL). Like a lot of land-grant universities, it's a drop of blue in a sea of red. And that is why I haven't been back in over a decade. Being from Florida I was stopped and questioned by small town police every time I drove home.
- alistairSH 3y agoCavalier here - bite your tongue! ;) I loved my 4 years in Charlottesville, but don't think I could live there. The COL drop from DC isn't enough to be worth the move. And the horse country "I got mine, so f--- you" vibe rustles my jimmies (we get the same thing in the western DC suburbs). Your police experience is "normal" for Florida plates, and applies to the state troopers and suburban police too. "FL tag, must be a drug mule." Infuriating, but at least you can take solace in knowing you weren't singled out any more than another other FL resident driving through.
